David Haye and Dereck Chisora are to face each other in a fight on 14 July at Upton Park. The two fighters were involved in a brawl following Chisora's defeat by Vitali Klitschko in Munich in February.

That clash three months ago is still being investigated by Munich police.

At a recent news conference, the British heavyweights exchanged insults as Haye vowed to beat Chisora.

Speaking at the conference, where the two fighters were separated by a steel fence, Haye said: "He is the ideal opponent for me. I am so glad he has got a good chin because if he didn't have a good chin he would be blasted out in first round. Chisora was surrounded by eight security guards.

Haye said: "I tried to knock him out in Munich and this is the opportunity to shut him up." Then Haye added: "This is definitely personal. We genuinely don't like each other. He has threatened to break my jaw, he has threatened to slap me.

"This fight is about eradicating boxing of an idiot. I will give him a nice, slow, concussive beating." Chisora, who was surrounded by eight security guards, said: "I don't like him. "Talk is cheap now. That was a lucky shot he hit me with in Munich. Your talk is cheap. You always talk but you don't deliver in the ring."

Chisora had his licence withdrawn after a number of controversial incidents before and after the Klitschko fight - but he has appealed against the decision.

Haye lost his licence when he retired in October last year, three months after losing his losing his WBA title to Vladimir Klitschko in Hamburg.
